So here we go again, another year and another promising and lovely C3! I will admit that I have not made many new levels since the previous C3. Most of the period since then has been more focused on polishing and bugfixing, not to mention the month and a half long hiatus/break I decided to go on. Not to say that there's nothing new. Bonus and Challenge rooms finally have a Donkey Kong Country Trilogy styled bonus room API, courtesy of MrDoubleA; which is a BIG game-changer and will allow me to make more challenging challenge rooms in future levels.
At this point I feel that this project of mine is starting to get where I want it to be on the gameplay side of things. anyways I believe a brief premise recap and some screenshots new and old are in order.

King Bowser has teamed up with King Wart and King K. Rool in a new alliance known simply as "The Rotten Regents". Together these Kingly Konquerers have stolen and scattered the power stars for their own (as of yet unknown) diabolical ends. It it now up to Mario and his friends to recollect the scattered Powers Stars, discover what the Rotten Regents are up to; and put a end to their sinister scheme!
